Should I grab Rogue Legacy or hold out for inevitable Humble Bundle?
I say hold out, at least for a Humble Store daily deal (where you'll also get a DRM-free copy + Steam key).

Something is really off about this shot, almost like that background image is very low-res asset that has been upscaled to fit your rendering resolution.
Did sikkmod ever get ported to the BFG edition?
I couldn't find much of anything in the way of mod support for the BFG edition.
You forgot the part where we buy a supercomputer to play a game looking this good in Dolphin.pretty similar to what i did with pcsx2. like you add dolphin to steam like any other non-steam game and then go to properties and set its target up like this:
"C:\Users\Tom\Desktop\Dolphin-x64\Dolphin.exe" /e "game path"
also now you know my name
edit: it's not a fantastic game tbh, and it's a big timewaster, but i sort of enjoy it. it's been disappointing for me but i had high expectations based on word of mouth and how much i liked xenosaga.

I noticed that there is a pretty massive difference between what Namco was demoing for Dark Souls II a few months ago and the final console version.
Textures look higher resolution, Specular Highlights, increased Dynamic Shadows, pitch-black background, Bump Mapping (?), and looks like a DOF effect.
I'm thinking Bandai had been showing off the PC version the whole time, announced the PC delay, and then began showing the actual console version shortly after. There was quite a substantial shift at one point in the visuals.
Here are the videos in question:

Seems like wishful thinking for now Grief =/

I tend to be overly optimistic, but the timing seems to match up perfectly.
Apparently, the dynamic shadows cause massive frame rate issues on the console versions. Seems From toned down the the darkness last minute to reduce the necessity of torches.

I can honestly say I was shocked by the abysmal differences between those 2 videos.
In the first one you can clearly see that lighting had a huge impact on how the game was supposed to be played. There's strategy, tension and many other elements that are directly tied to the way shadows permeate your surroundings.
The 2nd. video almost belongs to a completely different game. There's literally no point in holding any torches at all now. You can see everything, and it's really strange that they even kept the dynamic lighting while holding the torches.
Something just went terribly wrong down the road.
I didn't know Dark Souls 2 was releasing on the PS2. I was going to pre-order it on Steam today but maybe I'll just dust off that old thing instead. Seriously, though, that's a stark lighting downgrade.

weird, wasn't the tunnel supposed to be pitch black? I remember them demoing that portion with the torch as a gameplay mechanic, so they changed it completely
Damn it Grief, you just made me burst out laughing with your reply in the other thread.
Edit: I think the console version was supposed to look that way from the very beginning. Remember how Bamco just recently stated that the PC version would run at constant 60 FPS, 4x native resolution?
Don't give Grief hope man, he'll only fall down harder
I don't play a lot of emulated games, but I typically make a batch file and then convert to an exe, and then shortcut the exe.
Maybe it's a clumsy way of doing it, but seems to be a common enough method when I googled, and it works okay for as infrequently as I use it.
Thinking of playing System Shock 2. Am I correct that the Steam version has slightly upgraded graphics from the original title? Seem to remember reading that somewhere.
Follow this modding guide closely:

It will enhance your experience greatly. It did at least for me.
Thanks for the link. Do you know if modding a game prevents Steam's native achievements? Seems a utility SS2Tool is needed to make the game 'moddable' initially.

Your total deaths across all playthroughs: 335
Your current playthrough: NG+
Global average: 213
Huh, that's a thing and Stainless are making it again? I really hope going back to their roots ignites a creative spark for them, because they've been producing some straight up garbage for the past 10 years...Just a few more days to go until Carmageddon Reincarnation backers get their Steam keys. I haven't been following the game's development so I'm not sure how much content will be included initially but I'd be happy with just a few levels to wreck havoc in.

niceUpload your Dark Souls save to this site and it will tell you how many deaths each of your characters experienced.
My first character is NG+3 with 433 deaths.

You will still earn achievements.

I've played it some, it's not a bad game, actually, although not very entertaining either, because of repetitiveness.
Which key are you talking about?
The CD key that comes with the game, of course.
I love the look of The Inner World so I'm installing it at the moment... though I really ought to finish South Park first.
Sounds like GOTY material to me!
I am proud of you..
a game never asked me for it, as far as I can remember (><)
edited: browsing through Jasec's wall of games. diaper dash? really?
It's a girl! And a boy! In fact, it's every adorable baby in DinerTown, all bundled up for you to lavish with love. Keep these DinerTown darlings cooing by helping out Wilson, who's in over his head running the local daycare. Now's the time to make a play date with the game that's literally crawling with fun!

If you purchase Condemned on amazon for $3.74, make sure you buy the correct version.
There is a amazon download with and without a steam redeem. It says "DRM: STEAM" in the info.

JaseC, do you only buy in powers of two? Would be awesome if you did.
You'll post your impressions, yes?
sure thing!
